Psalm. 16

Again this week I am drawing on The Psalter (The Book of Psalms) for my sermon — Psalm 16. This psalm is categorized as “a psalm of trust”. It describes the life of those who trust God, and who do not follow any kind of false god or idol.

The Psalms are meant to be prayed more than analyzed. Pray this psalm this week. Go slowly. Read a verse, or even a half-verse (e.g. 1a) and take time to hold it as a prayer to God.

Meditate on these images: “The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places” (v. 6), and, “…in your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (v. 11b).
